Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

The Pacific Ocean.

A Sparrow weather reconnaissance aircraft flew at a constant speed over the Pacific Ocean.

There weren't many people inside the reconnaissance aircraft; including Shen Yun, Mizuno, and Mizuno's assistant, there were only four people.

As Horii's mentor, Dr. Mizuno naturally invited Horii to join his meteorological survey team.

However, Horii had an urgent mission and was unable to attend this investigation.

Inside a weather reconnaissance aircraft.

Dr. Mizuno introduced the members of the meteorological survey team to Shen Yun.

"Dr. Shen, this is Anna, a meteorology expert from TPC's European branch." Dr. Mizuno took the initiative to introduce the only woman in the cabin to Shen Yun.

"Hello, Dr. Shen." Anna extended her hand generously.

"Hello." Shen Yun gave it a light handshake and immediately let go.

"This is my assistant, Moriichiro Tamori."

After greeting him, Shen Yun began chatting with Dr. Mizuno about the cloud formations they were investigating.

Dr. Mizuno produced a data chart from a weather satellite and said, "These are the statistics on the descent and movement of this cloud cluster after it detached from the ionosphere in recent days."

Shen Yun looked at the data chart that Mizuno handed him, which showed various line graphs of cloud formations.

For example, the height at which the cloud descends, its size, and so on.

"We first observed this cloud cluster leaving the ionosphere ten days ago. Look!" Dr. Mizuno pointed to the descent height statistics chart, where the leftmost number showed the date from ten days ago.

Ten days ago, this cloud cluster was at an altitude of over 60 kilometers.

"After leaving the ionosphere, the cloud initially descended very slowly, taking two days to reach the stratosphere. Then, it descended steadily for four days. On the sixth day, the cloud's descent suddenly accelerated, reaching the troposphere within two days."

Shen Yun looked at the data chart, and the lines on the chart plummeted as time went by.

In just two days, it fell from the stratosphere, 50 kilometers above the ground, to the troposphere, 12 kilometers above the ground.

"After descending into the troposphere, the cloud slowed down again, and as of today, it has descended to an altitude of 10,000 meters over the Pacific Ocean."

"This position is very dangerous. Below that is the flight altitude of commercial airliners, which would affect their safety."

Looking at the data on the chart, Shen Yun said, "It might be adapting to low-altitude environments."

The environment at high altitudes is vastly different from that at low altitudes.

Putting aside other things, let's just talk about deep-sea fish.

Deep-sea fish die very quickly after being caught.

Not to mention the Lightning People who live in the ionosphere, sixty kilometers above the Earth's surface.

"That is indeed a possibility." Dr. Mizuno nodded and continued, "Also, the area of ​​this cloud is constantly shrinking. From tens of thousands of square kilometers at the beginning, it has shrunk to several hundred square kilometers now, and it is still shrinking."

"At the same time, the electromagnetic waves emitted by this cloud are becoming stronger and stronger, and are now able to interfere with the instrument's detection."

"If this cloud is indeed the lair of the Lightning Man, then something unknown must have happened inside," Dr. Mizuno said worriedly.

His ability to propose the hypothesis that there are lightning-powered beings in the ionosphere naturally indicates that he has conducted extensive research on the ionosphere.

Under normal circumstances, this cloud cluster should not be able to descend to this position.

After saying that, Dr. Mizuno suddenly smiled and said, "However, it seems a bit too early to say that now. We can't be sure if this is the Lightning Man's lair."

Shen Yun smiled slightly but did not reply.

He knew the plot, and naturally knew what was inside the cloud.

During the conversation, the Sparrow reconnaissance aircraft also arrived in front of the cloud cluster over the Pacific Ocean.

Tamori Ichiro released a detection machine called the Divine Eye, which receives satellite signals without being affected by electromagnetic interference.

The Divine Eye flew off from the bottom of the reconnaissance aircraft and slowly flew towards the dark clouds.

After witnessing the divine eye enter the dark cloud, Dr. Mizuno's assistant turned around and reminded him:

"Doctor, the Divine Eye has entered the cloud."

"Great! We can finally see the true face of the cloud." Dr. Mizuno smiled slightly.

"Dr. Mizuno, perhaps your hypothesis can actually be proven. If successful, it could be considered a first-time encounter, right?" Anna said with a smile.

"I hope so too," Dr. Mizuno said with a smile.

"Beep beep beep."

At this moment, the Divine Eye system inside the cabin sent back the results detected by the Divine Eye.

Anna approached the instrument, looked at the results from the divine eye's detection, and exclaimed in surprise:

"What a terrifying sound! What is that?"

"This doesn't sound like something a creature on Earth could make; it's very likely the roar of a monster," Shen Yun said, looking at the sound wave diagram above.

"Dr. Shen, do you mean there might be a monster in this cloud?" Anna asked Shen Yun in surprise.

"I can't be sure, but it's always good to be cautious." Shen Yun looked at Dr. Mizuno and said:

"Dr. Mizuno, have the reconnaissance aircraft descend immediately and not approach this cloud cluster any further."

"I understand." Dr. Mizuno nodded and immediately instructed the pilot in the cockpit to descend.

This Sparrow weather reconnaissance aircraft has two levels; the upper level is a cabin used for weather reconnaissance.

The next level is the cockpit.

In other words, this swan-type weather reconnaissance aircraft carried not only members of Dr. Mizuno's weather survey team.

There were other TPC staff members as well.

Following Dr. Mizuno's instructions, the pilot began to descend.

Thanks to Shen Yun's reminder, the Sparrow weather reconnaissance aircraft managed to descend to a safe altitude before the cloud cluster arrived.

Before Shen Yun could even breathe a sigh of relief, the reconnaissance aircraft suddenly experienced a slight vibration.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Mizuno asked quickly, steadying himself on the chair.

"Dr. Mizuno, I...zzzz... encountered strong...zzzz... electromagnetic interference, the aircraft engine...zzzz... malfunctioned, and we need to make an emergency landing. Please fasten your seat belts!" The pilot's anxious voice came through the loudspeaker.

Due to electromagnetic interference, a slight hissing sound of electricity even came from the speaker.

"What?!" Dr. Mizuno's expression changed slightly.

Although TPC's technology far surpasses that of civilian aircraft, at this altitude, the success rate of an emergency landing on the sea is less than one percent.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun did not hesitate at all, turned around and pushed open the cabin door, intending to enter the cabin at the back.

"Dr. Shen, what are you doing?" Dr. Mizuno asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

"To slow down the plane's descent."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yun had already left the cabin and closed the door behind him.

Shen Yun took out the spark prism from his uniform pocket and pressed the button on the stick.

"Armor, teleport!"

The wings of the spark prism unfolded instantly, and the signal light in the center lit up.

Inside the research room.

Upon receiving the signal, the transmission device immediately teleported the Ultra Armor to the signal launch point.

Armor plates kept appearing out of thin air, covering Shen Yun's body from his wrists.

In just a moment, the Tiga armor was already on Shen Yun's body.
